Oh my gosh! “A Touch of Malice” is the third book in St. Clair’s  “A Touch Of Darkness” Series. Let me start by saying that this whole series is a love rollercoaster. In this book. We came back in after Persphone went through some pretty horrible things. Only to be rescued by Hades. 
St. Clair did a wonderful job, describing things that survivors go through. Along with the healing process, and things that help and sometimes set them back. 
I feel like out of the three books this was the fastest moving story. I honestly thought that this was going to be the last book in the series. Luckily I was wrong, there is a book after this. 
I felt for Persphone and Lexa in this story. Both kinda got the short straw with this one. But watching their friendship grow and build was worth the pain of what happened. Plus the side love story that *wink *wink wasn’t going on in the background. Was a nice distraction as well.
I felt like we got a closer look at all the Gods in this story. Some of the things and traits we read about them in this story surprised me greatly. I loved that St. Clair took the opportunity to expand on the characters that played a main part in the book. That we didn’t really get to know too much. 
Honestly this is the spiciest book out of all three. And it is hard to write this review, due to how many spoilers could come out. Because of this, I gave it a 8/10 rating. And state read the book! If you are a Persphone and Hades fan. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
